Yay, a full-sized Soyuz! The two-man pod, however, is still worth keeping - if my memory's right, the (supposed) lunar version of the Soyuz carried two.

Early LEO versions, and the LOK, had 2 crew. The only 3 man versions were the original station version, which had no space for pressure suits, and modern versions (where tech has advanced enough to allow miniaturization and make space for suits)

It's actually the same size! Just a bit of careful placing to get things to fit.

I think the interior of the soyuz needs more junk. Those Kerbals have too much free room. They might start getting ideas. A couple of bags arranged to make even the least claustrophobic Kerbal feel the pain might be just the thing.

Beautiful work as always Beale.

@Beale I remember a while ago when you just started to revamp the Soyuz you showed a WIP of a cheaper capsule without a hatch, so maybe the 3 crew Soyuz would have no EVA hatch as a compromise to a bigger crew?, I mean, IRL the 3 kosmonaut versions used as a station ferrys so it kinda makes sense

Thanks! :) 
(I'm not sure if you are sarcastic about extra space btw).

Yeah!
It might be a good idea.

There also was once a green TKS texture, which I'm really, really looking forward to see.

Maybe this method of speaking can be a bit offensive to German persons? It does make it very difficult to read your earlier post also. Just a thought.

But the points you bring up are fixed now.

Green TKS

People asked to see, so here it is! (WIP)

And speaking of old things, the black Soyuz texture from much, much earlier also looks super nice. Any chance it will be introduced again, as an option at least? Would be great for a Kerbal Soyuz-TMA.

Very old stuff! :D 
Yes, as mentioned before I will be putting the PSDs available on Github, so people can have any colour they want.
